It's Always Good To Have A Back Up Plan
In mid-spring of 2007, the Whitefish fire department was out on the partially frozen Whitefish lake practicing emergency rescue exercises in their new hover craft that was donated to them by the Swift family of Whitefish. Unfortunately during the exercise, the craft capt side and had to be towed to shore. Interesting enough, I just happen to be at Whitefish lake just minutes after the incident happened. It was my birthday, April 7th, and it was a rare warm and beautiful day for that time of year. So I decided to venture out and take some photos. Also, this was another one of those incidents where the paper got flack for running this kind of cartoon in the paper. It seems that some one didn't particularly like the image of the overalls, beer drinking, corncob-pipe smoking individual representing the Whitefish Volunteer Fire Department. This is one of my favorite cartoons I've done so far.
